Conspiracy Charge Targets Currency Commission
Alfred Crozier of Wilmington testifies before the House Banking Committee alleging a conspiracy within the currency commission of the National Banking Association to push an Aldrich bill amendment lowering surplus circulation interest from 6 to 3 percent. He claims Wall Street operators caused the stringency to prompt such a bill and says a panic would precede its introduction. In other actions, Congress strips and then restores eight submarine boats in the naval bill, and a postal savings bank bill advances with a name change to postal depositories to reassure bankers while preserving its savings goal.
